This script largely serves as a demonstration of a way to ensure that elements with role=button can be activated using Space and Enter keys. It makes sure that if a role=button has an aria-disabled=true, then it will not be keyboard focusable. Finally, if the script detects an aria-pressed attribute, it will assign a function specifically to toggle the value of the attribute.
As long as you're setting up role="button" elements to work with the appropriate keyboard controls in your own scripts, then you likely don't need this.
If you are using native HTML <button>s, then you also likely don't need this.
In general, you likely don't need this. Just use a <button> and manage your own aria-pressed :)
